Your “local” APRS RF network
Aloha Range:
• In Maryland,
about 50 mi
• In Wyoming,
about 150 mi
• In SoCal,
about 15 mi
The channel is full with 60 to 120 users. Beyond that, reliability suffers.
The “ALOHA” circle defines your communication range.

APRS Voice Alert! *
Voice Alert is effectively a 3rd & 4th Radiochannel for APRS radios with internal TNC’s
Set APRS Band A to CTSS-100, Volume UP!
All packet-racket is MUTED You are available for a voice call using PL-100 on 144.39
And you will hear* a Ping ALERT if another VA-station comes in line-of-site to you… (a proximity radar alert!)
Great for long haul traveling and meeting other APRS users. Also great local Backchannel for APRS coordination
(Simultaneous Voice and Data channel)(Automatic Proximity Alert)

MOST IMPORTANT SETTINGS !!!
To get even basic APRS functionality youmust change TWO radio Defaults!
1) Configure BUTTONS for APRS
2) Configure PM’s to save Settings!
3) Then SAVE these in your PMs!
1) MENU: RADIO-DISPLAY-KEY_FUNCTION… set MODE 3 (D700 only)
2) MENU: RADIO-MEMORY-AUTO_PM_STORE… set to OFF (700 & 710)
(This prevents your every button push from auto-saving over your previously saved config!)
3) SAVE in each APRS PM: Press F then PM-IN, then select PM

One-way trackers are good for non-manned assets at largemovement events.. Not as the only APRS asset for a ham.
